Abstract The present study investigated recitation skills, constitutive of the number concept, and their relationship with language skills in the Brazilian Sign Language. Different levels of numerical sequence recitation were identified in 1st to 3rd grade deaf students attending a bilingual Elementary School (Brazilian Portuguese and Brazilian Sign Language), as well as the association between numerical recitation and schooling. The ability to enumerate was associated with specific levels of receptive and expressive language in Brazilian Sign Language.

Erros expressam modos de raciocinar sobre um objeto de conhecimento. Sua análise pode revelar a lógica subjacente na organização intelectual dos indivíduos. Considerando-se o erro como fonte de informação acerca do raciocínio dos indivíduos, a presente investigação objetiva caracterizar e interpretar os tipos de erros apresentados por crianças surdas no conhecimento da sequência numérica em Língua Brasileira de Sinais - Libras. Participaram estudantes surdos, cursando do 1º ao 3º ano do ensino fundamental em uma instituição bilíngue (Libras/Português do Brasil). As análises revelaram aumento do conhecimento numérico ao longo dos anos escolares, como refinamento dos erros cometidos. A representação numérica em Libras também esteve relacionada a alguns dos erros cometidos, mostrando a influência do conhecimento linguístico na construção da cadeia numérica.Palavras-chave: Libras.

Its analysis can reveal the underlying logic in the intellectual organization of individuals. Thus, considering errors as source of information about the reasoning of individuals and their ways of thinking, the present research aims to characterize and interpret the types of errors presented by deaf children, in relation to the knowledge of the numerical sequence in Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS). Deaf students, from 1st to 3rd year, attended a bilingual institution (LIBRAS / Brazilian Portuguese). The results revealed an increase in numerical knowledge throughout the school years as well as refinement of the errors made. The numerical representation in LIBRAS was also related to some of the errors, showing the influence of the linguistic knowledge in the construction of the numerical chain.Keywords: Brazilian Sign Language.

The City

The process of school inclusion for people with disabilities is a recent development, especially for the deaf individuals, so the study of how this inclusion process occurs and the teaching of Sciences/Biology for these individuals is still incipient. The objective of this work was to investigate how science/biology teaching takes place for deaf students in the city of Cornélio Procópio-PR and what difficulties are encountered by the students, teachers, and sign language interpreters in the scenario of school inclusion. To reach this goal, we interviewed teachers and interpreters who work in elementary and middle schools of the public network that attend deaf students in Cornélio Procópio. The results of the interviews demonstrated that all those involved in this process face difficulties, the interpreters indicate language as an obstacle to the interpretation of Sciences and Biology classes, since Brazilian Sign Language presents a deficit of lexicons in relation to the Portuguese Language. On the other hand, the main difficulty for the teachers is the lack of preparation to work in classes which include deaf people, jeopardizing not only their interaction with the students, but also the teaching of Sciences and Biology.

The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between host country (HC) language skills, fear of terror, and cross-cultural adjustment (CCA) of expatriates based in host countries with different terrorist threat levels. Design/methodology/approach Integrating the expatriate adjustment framework by Black et al. (1991) with social identity theory-based literature, this study first, theorizes about the effects of both fear of terror and HC language proficiency on CCA and, second, puts forward the moderating effect of the actual terrorist threat level on the relationship between HC language proficiency and fear of terror. Hypotheses are tested using survey data of 116 expatriates based in host countries with different threat levels. Findings HC language proficiency is positively associated with CCA. Yet, it is also positively associated with fear of terror, which is, in turn, negatively related to CCA. Consequently, the beneficial effect of HC language skills on CCA is reduced in environments where expatriates experience significant fear of terror. While the actual threat level has a direct positive effect on fear of terror, it also positively moderates the relationship between HC language proficiency and fear of terror. Originality/value This study extends prior literature on expatriation to dangerous environments by zooming in on a specific type of risk factor associated with international assignments, i.e., terrorism, and by integrating HC language proficiency and fear of terror as important factors, which may influence CCA in contexts in which expatriates experience significant fear of terror.

The Relationship

AbstractObjective: This article deals with the effective functioning of an organization in the international context. It focuses on the two key aspects of the communication in this respects: cultural intelligence (CQ), the capacity to operate successfully in the multicultural setting, and the quality of internal communication; it is investigated whether CQ (and its components: metacognitive, cognitive, motivational and behavioural) are rather related to the number of foreign languages or the language proficiency a person (or an employee) knows (has).Methodology: The sample of 132 undergraduate students of the English and Czech study programs at one private business university in the Czech Republic was used. The Spearman correlation coefficient, Chi–Square test for independence and the one–way ANOVA test (all of them conducted in the statistical program IBM SPSS Statistics 21) are calculated in the paper.Findings: CQ depends on the quality (the level of proficiency) rather than the quantity (the number) of foreign language skills. This conclusion applies regardless of gender: our data did not confirm that language skills were gender-dependent.Value Added: Recently a very fashionable cultural intelligence (CQ) construct has been explored in relation to a variety of variables and outputs. Nevertheless, insufficient attention has been given to the relationship between cultural intelligence and language competence so far; moreover, the research has brought contradictory results up to now. This study fills the actual knowledge gap.Recommendations: It is shown that in terms of the effective functioning in a culturally unknown environment and with a restricted time to learn foreign languages, it is preferable to develop continuously one´s skills in lingua franca than parallel and more superficial studies of several languages.

Este artigo refere-se a uma pesquisa de doutorado que busca apresentar uma proposta metodológica de Cartografia Escolar e Inclusiva para alunos surdos. A pesquisa de campo centrou-se na observação de aulas de Geografia que possuíam alunos surdos, além da realização de entrevistas, oficina e minicurso. Como resultado final, identificou-se que os alunos surdos têm dificuldades na leitura dos mapas tradicionais, uma vez que a linguagem verbal utilizada nas representações cartográficas não estão em sua língua. Todavia, com a produção de mapas em Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) e VisoGrafia (uma modalidade de escrita de sinal), houve melhora no processo de leitura cartográfica, o que possibilitou a construção do pensamento geográfico e do ensino-aprendizagem de Geografia.PALAVRAS-CHAVECartografia Escolar, Ensino de Geografia, Educação Inclusiva.SCHOOL AND INCLUSIVE CARTOGRAPHY FOR DEAF STUDENTS ABSTRACTThis article refers to a doctoral research that seeks to present a methodological proposal for School and Inclusive Cartography for deaf students. The field research focused on the observation of Geography classes that had deaf students, in addition to conducting interviews, workshops and mini-courses. As a final result, it was identified that deaf students have difficulties in reading traditional maps, once the verbal language used in cartographic representations are not in their language. However, with the production of maps in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) and VisoGrafia (a type of signal writing), there was an improvement in the cartographic reading process, which enabled the construction of geographic thinking and the teaching-learning of Geography.KEYWORDSSchool Cartography, Geography teaching, Inclusive Education.ISSN: 2236-3904REVISTA BRASILEIRA DE EDUCAÇÃO EM GEOGRAFIA - RBEGwww.revistaedugeo.com.br - [email protected]
